Are you ready for something new?

Earth Day Poem
Are you ready for something new? I enjoy making words out of letters provided by big words. I thought that you could also use those words to make a poem. I tried and this is what I got below. Here are some of the rules with some suggestions I followed:
1. Three word maximum for letters
2. You cannot use all of the vowels (a-e-i-o-u)
3. A thirteen letter maximum
4. You can use the words formed as many times in your poem as you wish
5. Poem lines do not have to rhyme but it might be a bigger challenge that you want
6. Try to make 100 words from your starting point to be used in the poem
As I noticed there were words that were used in a couple of parts of speech so I put most of them in both categories.
7. Put the words in a noun, verb, adjective and other column or list to make it easier to make your poem
Good luck!

Earth Day Poem
Earth, yet a home.
They had a dream.
The hart roamed.
The mare tread there.
The pet ate the moth.
A dearth of hay.
Heat made the yard dry.
My eye teared.
My heart hated the death.
